I learned that being invisible doesn’t get anybody anywhere to where they want to go. It doesn’t make anyone grow from being chained from all their traumas and anxieties. Sometimes, we must force ourselves to be set free. Even if it won’t make certain people happy. - Rose (Sweet Nectar, Book 1).

Robert Dunbar
The original Gothic horror tales focused on personalities deformed through loneliness. Ghouls, vampires, werewolves: all made, not born. But the isolation? Are even such as these ever truly alone? Perhaps the psyche has always been more complex than that, desire eternally more potent than terror. Surely, none prowl entirely in solitude.
Robert Dunbar, Martyrs and Monsters
